MOM'S HOMEMADE SALSA
Steps:
- Into a very large stockpot, combine all of the ingredients together.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, stirring frequently.
- If your tomatoes give off a lot of juice and you want a thicker salsa, dissolve 1-2 Tbsp of cornstarch in a small amount of water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the salsa in the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. Salsa should thicken slightly.
- Prepare canner, jars, and lids according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Carefully ladle the hot salsa into the heated jars, using a funnel and leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Center lids on jars. Apply and tighten bands.
- Process in boiling water canner for 35 minutes, adjusting for altitude. **Increase processing time: 5 minutes for 1,001 to 3,00 ft; 10 minutes for 3,001 to 6,000 ft; 15 minutes for 6,001 to 8,000 ft; 20 minutes for 8,001 to 10,000 ft.
MOM'S SALSA
This has been a favorite in our family for as long as I can remember. I use it on tacos, chimichangas, with chips, tamales, enchiladas, burritos, scrambled eggs, taco salads, Mexican rice, huevos rancheros, fried potatoes...you get the point. This recipe is an ATTEMPT to get the spices right since Mom doesn't measure the ingredients. (Nor do I.) ;) Feel free to adjust seasonings to your taste. Please note: The salsa needs to sit in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours for the flavors to meld.
